NASHUA, N.H. —

Agencies in New Hampshire and Massachusetts are investigating the use of force by police officers during an arrest.

The police chase, which spanned dozens of miles across two states, came to a violent end in Nashua.

Authorities said the chase began shortly after 4 p.m., when Richard Simone, 50, of Worcester, who was wanted on multiple warrants, refused to stop for police in Holden, Massachusetts.

Police said Simone fled in his Chevrolet Silverado onto Route 190 northbound and then onto Route 117 in Lancaster. The Massachusetts State Police cruiser involved in the pursuit was directed to stop pursuing, per the department's policy.

Once Simone returned to Route 190, state police picked up the pursuit again behind Holden police cruisers.

From there, the pursuit wound through Massachusetts, including Leominster, Littleton, Chelmsford and Tyngsboro. Police said Simone continued to try to escape, making abrupt lane changes.

Eventually, Simone took Exit 36 on Route 3 -- the last exit in Massachusetts. He then took Middlesex Road over the Tyngsborough Bridge and Route 3A north into Hudson, where local police and New Hampshire State Police joined the pursuit.

Simone took several local roads to reach Route 111 eastbound before he exited onto local streets.

Police said Simone's car struck a pole on School Street in Hudson, but he continued driving.

Around 5 p.m., the pursuit ended on Hughey Street in a residential neighborhood.

Police surrounded the driver's pickup truck with weapons drawn after the vehicle stopped on what appeared to be a dead end road.

He was taken into custody and taken for booking by Nashua police.

Witnesses in the neighborhood around Brigham Street in Nashua rushed out of their homes to see police make the arrest.

"He put his hands up, and he was like this,” said one witness with her hands raised. "And then the cops just went after him and started beating him."

While a handful of people on the ground saw what unfolded, thousands more watched it on television, as news helicopters hovered overhead.

"They all stepped out of their cars, and he just surrendered, and all of the sudden, you just saw all the cops start beating up on him and stuff,” a witness said.

"We saw about 15 out of state cops, state police, and some from Holden, Mass., chasing a pickup,” said witness Monty Hays.

In the Gate City, witnesses said the truck was barely pushing the speed limit, leaving chunks of tire on the road.

"Its tires – they just were exploded," Hays said. "They were on rims. Rubber was flying everywhere,” Hays said.

"Bunch of cop cars were coming down here, and I saw the truck," said Zach Williams. "It was smoking from the side."

Williams heard the sirens, came out of his house, and eventually took photos of the suspect as officers escorted him to a police cruiser.

"Then I saw the guy get in the cop car,” he said.

During the chase, officials said Simone's speeds exceeded 100 mph. He had outstanding warrants on charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, larceny and failure to stop for police.

Massachusetts State Police said the pursuit will be reviewed by the department's pursuit committee. They also said the apprehension of the suspect would be reviewed to determine whether the level of force used during the arrest was appropriate.
